O.P. Gzip
U should considder using gzip to speed up the transfer of pages and to save bandwidth.

You can save over 80%

http://shoutbox.menthix.net/ is not gzipped

Page Size: 27 K
Size if Gzipped: 4 K
Potential Savings: 85.19%

It's not really needed for people with fast connections but it would surely be a lot better for 56K'ers. It takes the main page 10 seconds to load right now.

I know the CPU load will increase because it has to compress all the pages, but I don't think it will increase too much.

O.P. RE: Gzip
I think it's because the current build RC2 does not have gzip compatibilty, but it can be build in easily with PHP or Apache.

there's no need for coding :P

Just insert one line at the top of your header file and voila... all the files that include that file will be gzipped.

code:
<? ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); ?>

RE: Gzip
This board does support gzip, and we used to have it enabled. However, it caused dodgy problems for some viewers, and I'm not sure if those issues were ever solved.

I think surfi or wj disabled it sometime in March or April 2004; I dunno why. Anyway, bandwidth doesn't really matter on this server because it's free. :p
